There's something masculine about a man in a nice lumberjack - however with a nice modern edgy flare to it. 

So men, this look can been worn with a nice pair of oxford shoes and some skinny jeans. You also can dress this coat up by pairing it with a grey suit. 

You can find coats like this at Urban Outfitters, Topman, and your local Thrift/Vintage Stores.

NothinG Special EP

"Phony Ppl either crash-landed from the past or the future: critics and fans can’t decide. Since popping up on New York City’s indie radar in 2011, the amorphous band has forged an entirely new sound built on vintage astral funk, colorful world music, and dusted-out hip-hop/R&B. Co-founded by writer/producer Elbee Thrie and keyboardist Aja Grant, the band flipped high school demo recordings into meditative self-released singles like “I Wish I Was A Chair” and “Statues,” and tours with like-minded experimental elders Theophilus London, Erykah Badu and The Roots. 

Natives of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, the band has gained a global fanbase of early adopters including BBC6’s Giles Peterson and Tokyo streetwear icon Skatething—not bad for a D.I.Y crew that produced and recorded much of their output from a Nostrand Avenue brownstone"

Lolawolf is lead by the beautiful Zoe Kravitz 
and backed by James Levy, Raviv Ullman and Jimmy Giannopoulos, 
a band with a dope style that is certainly a reflection of their Brooklyn home. 

Below is their official video for their 1st single 
off their debut EP, released Feb. 4th 2014 

93 1st Ave NY, NY
(212) 598-4610

"Where Chili Pepper Lights Meet Christmas Tree Lights.”


We love the East Village and one of the many places that makes it such a great area is Panna II - and Indian comfort food place best known for its atmosphere. It's completely covered in Christmas lights all year round - giving you a New Years Eve and Mardi Gras vibe all in one!  

Us locals call this block of 1st Ave "Curry Row" due to the interesting aspect that Panna II is located on the upper, top right corner of what is 3 separate restaurants in the exact same location, with the exact same christmas lights. 

                      

Panna II is the more popular of the 3 (It's one of Travel Channel star and famous  Chef Anthony Bourdain's favorite places to eat) Additionally, the restaurant is known for it’s owners, who stand outside of the stairs waving and claiming to be your friend in  order to persuade you into eating with them. 



Keep in mind this is a BYOB joint so remember to take some sweet wine or beer if you prefer, to complement the traditional Indian dishes such as veggie samosas and chicken tikka masala - all of which are delicioso. Also take note that the food comes out fast and furious! Servers with hot plates whiz past you adding to the fun environment. 


So if you are looking for a truly unique and interesting time, head over to Curry Row on 1st Ave.  You must try this place out at least once. Don’t let the forward Indian waiters scare you off. This place is full of little quirks that make it  more of an experience rather than just going out for some decent curry.  




P.S. Let them know it's your birthday (or just pretend like us ) and enjoy delicious mango ice cream on the house!



Cheers!
